We compare these parameters with the commonly used morphologic measure of treatment response, the decrease in volume, and the T-downstaging.
Results: The ratio of the maximum-to-minimum measured values shows that 2- to 3-fold differences occur in distance, area, or volume measures of continence system morphologic features.
Although this condition is associated with morphologic brain abnormalities, simultaneous examination of multiple high-resolution measures of cortical structure has not been performed.
Label-free optical measures of local tissue structure and biochemistry characterized morphologic and functional differences between controls and stressed constructs.
Since the most meaningful measures of body fat redistribution in HALS are not known, methods for assessing the morphologic changes varied widely across trials.
Morphologic and diffusion MRI therapy response criteria need to be tested in prospective studies in order to address current, unmet clinical and pharmaceutical needs for reliable measures of tumor response in metastatic bone disease [ 5].
In addition, left atrial dimensions were measured as a morphologic expression of diastolic function [ 22].
Theoretically the maximum blood flow velocity as a measure of the functional grade of obstruction may therefore be lower than what is expected from morphologic gradations of the stenosis.
The morphologic characteristics of the puborectalis were assessed on these reconstructed models by measuring (1) the levator symphysis gap, (2) the width of the levator hiatus, and (3) the length of the levator hiatus.
On the lateral cephalometric radiographs, the following points and lines for the description of the morphologic characteristics of the cervical vertebral bodies (Figure 1) were traced and measured using WIXWIN 2000 software (Gendex Dental System, Des Plaines, IL, USA).
